Fortress is very close to being released. I believe we are basically waiting on two changes before we are ready to release. As to the number of active developers - I would guess 4-5 but I suspect it will get more as it is basically the migration path away from ECM container and I suspect the cocoon people will migrate to it sooner rather than later. Hence lots of users. Personally I am more a user of Fortress that just happens to fix problems when they crop up ;) What to use? Basically it would depend on what you want to deploy to. If you are writing a standalone server of some kind I would suggest using Phoenix. If you are writing something to embed inside other apps (like in a webapp) then the only released container is ECM ... which implements things in a way we no longer approvie of. In which case I would recomend Fortress. I have crossed this to avalon-dev so hopefully someone will be able to give you more of an idea of when Fortress is lined up for release. -- Cheers, Peter Donald -------------------------------------------------- "An intellectual is someone who has been educated beyond their intelligence." -------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
